Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

song

She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair.

I sat on a rug,
Biding my time,
Drinking her wine.

We talked until two
And then she said,
"It's time for bed."

She told me she worked in the morning
And started to laugh,
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when I awoke
I was alone;
This bird had flown.

So I lit a fire,
Isn't it good
Norwegian wood.
